About Dan
Games are more than just systems or entertainment. They are a connection to the personality and emotions of each player. I believe every game is a conversation between designer and player.
Game design, for me, is a craft of empathy. Every mechanic, layout, and progression curve must make sense not just to a system, but to a human. My goal is to design moments that players don’t just interact with. I want them to remember what they felt.
With a background that spans from grotesque horror puzzles to colorful educational worlds, I bring sensitivity, structure, and imagination to everything I create.
I'm always learning. Always building. Always listening.

my approach & Strategy
I begin by understanding the people behind the product. Stakeholders, players, educators, and clients each bring unique perspectives that shape the design.
My strategy is grounded in purpose and guided by clarity. Whether I'm crafting a flowchart, balancing a game economy, or prototyping a puzzle mechanic, I prioritize player experience and system coherence over surface-level features.
My process is iterative. I sketch, test, listen, and refine. At every stage, I work to align experience with intention.
I treat every project as a unique ecosystem. Each one has its own goals, tone, and player base. Instead of applying generic solutions, I design systems and experiences tailored to the needs of that specific community. Engagement, for me, should always feel personal and authentic.
